Convoke usually reads as a discount mechanic: tap your board, pay less, get a body down early. This one inverts the transaction. The flying counters distributed to each convoking creature mean the payment comes back with interest, turning a tapped-out ground stall into an evasive squad the turn it resolves. That reframes the whole tempo math. A typical convoke card wants you to sacrifice board development for speed, but here every creature that helped cast it walks away permanently better, so the cost of convoking is negative once you count the counters. Vigilance on the 3/4 body closes the loop: the payment creatures gain flight, and the thing they paid for doesn't have to choose between blocking and attacking. The design lives in the specific verb of convoke rather than any tap-for-mana shortcut, because it needs to know exactly which creatures contributed in order to reward them. Cast it off the battlefield, and the counters go nowhere; cast it convoking three, and three ground creatures leave the ground for good. It is convoke reimagined as an anthem trigger, where the tokens of your labor are the beneficiaries.
